me too Cory but knowing Naraku it's probably going to involve Rin to try and trap Sesshoumaru b/c he's a big threat. Also its probably mess with their heads like always

I have a feeling the attention is going to shift back to Shippo and Kohaku.

It's going to be very fun to see what Kagome can do now that she's unlocked. Magatsuhi was supposed to be the "evil" side of the shikon jewel's "soul" wasn't he? So, what state does that leave the jewel in? Are we going to see Midoriko come roaring back?
Naraku might try messing with Rin to play with Sesshoumaru, but in doing so, he is now dealing with a potent triple threat: Seshoumaru himself, Inuyasha in full youkai form AND his wits about him, and Kagome, who has long been hinted at being the powerhouse of the whole group, if she can ever get a handle on it.
I'm betting we get a scene shift back to the ranch where Kohaku is going to considerably liven up the Miroku/Sango situation.

I hope this new "tap" doesn't take more than 30 chapters…

Just popping in really quick after playing catch-up on the latest chapters.
>>It’s going to be very fun to see what Kagome can do now that she’s unlocked.<< THIS. That's all I can think of right now.
And all this loli-related talk has me thinking of Kodomo no Jikan. Curse you, 4chan and 7chan!! (Hilarious manga though, with another Rin-loli.)

Rin (IY) would be far more awesome if she was more like Rin Kokonoe and tried to seduce Sesshoumaru.

Can anyone explain what's the 'haze' on page 18 in chapter 539?

You guys have the Rin/Sesshoumaru thing all wrong. I think Rin is Sesshomaru's pet. I've certainly seen enough people get all gooshy about their pets.
BTW Starks, put me down in the Chapter pool for 600 Chapters at the end. There's enough people smelling big long convolutions coming up to justify it. (Yeah, I know I'm being stupid.)

Now that Kagome has her powers back, she can purify the Shikon Jewel which could severly damage Naraku.

Naraku: Kukukuku…with power of the Dark Jewel, I now send you, lovely Rin, back to your protector. When you are safely with your lord, as he shields you with his back turned…you will strike. I command you Rin: Kill Sesshoumaru!
Kagome: Naraku, I can't think of anything from you more sick and evil!
Naraku: Kukukuku…and with power of the Shikon Jewel, let's also resurrect Kikyo!
Kagome and Fans Everywhere: Noooooooooooooo!!! You Monster!

Rin Kokonoe is pretty much the spokesperson for the DFC loli archetype ("delicious flat chest"). She and the rest of the Kodomo no Jikan cast proved that being as flat as an ironing board was not a handicap nor simply a clever plot device.

"Rin (IY) would be far more awesome if she was more like Rin Kokonoe and tried to seduce Sesshoumaru."
"You guys have the Rin/Sesshoumaru thing all wrong. I think Rin is Sesshomaru’s pet. I’ve certainly seen enough people get all gooshy about their pets."
Rin isnt a "future lover" to sesshoumaru, neither is she only a "pet" to him. Shes pretty much an "adopted niece" to sesshoumaru.

I'll agree Rin is an "adopted niece" now, but when Sesshoumaru first, er, acquired her, he did it totally on a whim. At that time, he was still holding the opinion that mortals were beneath serious notice and "pet" best fits his early attitude. He has mellowed significantly.
As for Rin Kokonoe, I wouldn't know. You would be hard pressed to find anything sicker than a 50 year old Mom with a preteen daughter trolling a loli site, and I really have no interest there.

Hi, 
First time I actually sign in to leave a comment. Love the site and I love reading the comments everyone leaves on here. I know this might be a little off subject, but I guess I'm just one of those rabid fangirls at heart. I'd heard this poem yesterday while watching a movie and I thought it fit InuYasha's and Kagome's relationship. Bare with me:
In & Out of Time by Maya Angelou
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance…
our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out of time.
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more.
You freed your braids…
gave your hair to the breeze.
It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there….
Mmmm…God how I love your hair.
You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
I screamed to the heavens….loudly screamed….
Trying to change our nightmares into dreams…
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out
in and out
in and out
of time.
From the Movie: Madea's Family Reunion
I thought the poem was beautiful and that it described what they, (InuYasha and Kagome), feel about each other. Yeah, yeah, I know, crazy fangirl thoughts from a crazy person. Well anyways, I've written an extremely long comment and to get back on subject, hopefully this manga has a very fulfilling ending that everyone will be happy with,(crossing fingers 
). It could end up like "Firetripper", with Kagome staying with InuYasha in his time. Or like someone once maybe commented, one big acid trip. Either way, can't wait for the next scanlation and keep up the great work Starks and good luck with your new job when you get it. Kagome's gonna kick,(maybe?),some major ass!

That poem was beautiful. 
Hmm…'In and out of time'…I get it!!
BECAUSE THEY'RE FOM DIFFERENT ERA'S, RIGHT? Lolz. I love Maya Angelou. ^^ Especially, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
Ok..off topic.. Anyways, I'm ecstatic Kagome has her powers back. Like everyone says…I know she'll kick some demon booty. You know what would be really ironic, too? If after all the times IY has saved Kagome, imagine she ends up saving him. Wow. I can just envision that.
Kagome: STAY AWAY FROM MY HANYOU! SZJEJHECDKMEDBDEIHBH! -kills Naraku-

It is 1:16 eastern standard time which means… the chapter comes out today! (maybe not on the site, but hey, it will be out there). I am so excited! It has been a bad week so I hope this chapter is especially good to help make up for it.
